State of New York
Delaware County ss. On this eight day of October one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of said County now sitting Conrad Eick a resident of Deposit Village in the town of Tompkins in the County and State aforesaid aged sixty nine years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832 -
That he was born at German Flats on the Mohawk river on the 20 th day of September 1763, as appears from a memorandum in the family Bible of this declarant, made about thirty years since, taken from the records of the Rev. C. W. Rosekrantz, the minister by whom he was baptized - That he resided at German Flats, until it was burnt by the Tories and Indians in the year 1779, when he removed with his step-father to Stone Arabia where he remained till the winter of 1781 when he removed with his step father and family to Greenbush near Albany - That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated.
That he first enlisted at Stone Arabia for nine months service in a company of rangers commanded by Captain Gosselman, in the spring of the year 1780, and served in said company till the same was discharged, the beginning of the following winter - The ranger company were employed as scouts, and this declarant was most of the time

during that season in the woods in the vicinity of Stone Arabia, and along the line of the Mohawk river in search of Indians, & Tories - That he was in the fort, when Stone Arabia was burnt by the British Tories and Indians under Sir John Johnston - Was in the battle in the forenoon of that day, when Col o Brown, Commander of the fort, was killed - That he was also in the battle in the afternoon of the same day, when the militia under Gen l Van Rensselaer and Col o Dubois came up, and, with the troops from the fort, nearly surrounded the troops under Sir John, who nevertheless escaped thro' the river with the loss of his baggage, one brass field piece, iron mounted, and a few men killed wounded and prisoners! At the commencement of winter and about a month before the term of their enlistment expired the ranger Company was disbanded, there being no occasion for their further services that season - And this declarant further states, that in the spring of the year 1781 he was hired by a Col o at Greenbush to perform a term of nine months service in the militia, and he again entered the service in Company commanded by Capt t Aylesworth or Ellsworth, and marched to Fort Plain on the Mohawk river, where the Company to which he belonged was soon after ordered to Fort Herkimer, where they lay in Garrison the most of that season, and in the fall again returned to Fort Plain - This declarant was, during this season, frequently employed in riding express between Fort Herkimer and Fort Plain, and while lying at Fort Herkimer was out with a party who were attacked by the Indians, lying in ambush by whom Capt t Aylesworth and two privates were killed - That late in the fall of this year this declarant enlisted at Fort Plain for three

years in a regiment then being raised by Col. Marius Willet soon after which being released from service he returned home to Goshen where he spent the winter - That in March or April in the next year (1782) this declarant again entered the service in said Willet's Regiment in a Compa- ny Commanded by Captain James Cannon of which one Shaw (a Hessian) was Lieutenant, and was mustered with said Regiment at Albany, where this declarant was detained for some months as assistant and waiter to John Lansing Esq. Muster master of said Regiment. That in the summer following this declarant again joined the Regiment at Fort Plank, and served therein as a Corporal in said Cannon's Company, till said Regiment was dis- banded in January 1784 when this declarant was regularly discharged, which is the only writ- ten discharge this declarant ever received, and that has been many years lost or destroyed - That during the year 1782 this declarant was in Garrison at Fort Plank, Fort Knyphausen, Fort Her- kimer, and Fort Dayton, at different times, and assisted in building redoubts near Fort Herkimer and Fort Dayton and Fort Schuyler - That when the battle of Terlock was fought this declarant was absent, having been sent by Col. o Willet as an express to Fort, Herkimer - That this declarant was engaged with others in the early part of the winter 1782-3 in making moccasins and snow shoes for the troops destined to go to Oswego against the British fort at that place, and in the depth of winter accompanied the troops under Col. o Willet, and endured all the privations and hardships of that expedition, from which he returned to Fort Herkimer and lay there most of the summer of 1783, and in the fall went to Fort Stanwix and assisted in building a block house there - where he remained till Fort Herkimer - thence to Schenectady & thence to Albany where he was discharged as above mentioned.

That he was at Fort Schuyler when Genl. Washington visited the Mohawks. And this declarant further states, that while in the service in the militia as above he was engaged with the troops under Col. Willet in the battle against the British Tories and Indians at Johnstown in which the militia were first made to retreat, and lost a field piece, but rallied again retook the field piece (Col. Willet being the first man who laid his hand on it) and drove the enemy (who were attacked by the militia in rear) and would have gained a complete victory, had not the dark- ness of night favored their escape - This declarant was also in the pursuit after the battle for four days - was present when Lieut. Richtman with the rear guard and baggage of the enemy were taken and also when Butler was killed - This, according to the best of this declarant's recollections was in the fall of the year 1781, when he was in the 9 months service - That for two or three years after the war he worked at different places, and in the spring of the year 1787 he came on to the Delaware river about two miles below where he now lives, and lived there till the year 1801 when he came to Deposit Vil- lage, where he has ever since resided - And this declarant states that he has no documentary evi- dence of his services - And hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state - And this declarant further states that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure (except those whose affidavits are hereto annexed) To testify to his services -
